The carriage moved in whistling silence for several minutes. Finally,
reluctantly, Scruff said, "The tentacles are keeping pace with us."
"Pacemaker to the Tentacles," the orc, Jorge muttered. "That will look odd on
my resume. Assuming I live to need a resume."
"You can't die!" the arenamaster said. "You're needed in the Dark Arena.
People have been WAITING for you to come back to Aradi."
"Waiting for you, too, Hark."
"I guess. Arena administration stuff. I'd rather fight--"
"Don't say it!"
"--Tentacles."
"The tentacles are getting ahead of us," Gerbent said. "They're pulling away
fast. That must mean we won't have to fight them."
"More likely, they're getting ahead so they can set a trap," the orc growled.
"It's the sort of thing a bunch of creepy interdimensional tentacles would do."
DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
The Kung-Fu Master? That's the only person who cared--or DARED--to contest the
title with me? Hmm, actually, looked at in the right way, that's a complement, and I
shall be sure to look at it that way. Compliments aren't so thick on the ground
ANYWHERE that I would just throw one away.
Chichi-Hooey
P.S. But all he taught me was some sort of weird tea-making ritual, with a lot of
bowing and silent meditation, which is not how I like to make tea at all. Not even
any tea bags! Talk about doing stuff the hard way...of course, what else can you
expect from someone who won't use a sword to fight?
SPY REPORT
I can't believe the violence in TOBIR! I still haven't told Mom I'm writing
Spyreports. She'd have a cow! Well, here we go... Too bad, FOREIGN LEGION, but THE
DOGHOUSE was just too good to be stopped. MVP award for CLYTEMNAESTRA? OLYMPIANS'
proud of her after beating ECHANOSARAH and getting 17 points. Talk about yer big
time losers! TIPAR KUROO got smashed by WHITE BLOOD CELL, and lost 11 points! And I
was just getting used to the ex-Duelmaster's habit of...(!) Oh well, welcome LADY
DOROTHY. Aren't OLYMPIANS proud. (Oh, my.) Who was the wiseguy that said TOBIR's
Duelmaster was paying for drinks at The Deeproot Inn? Don't look at me!
Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right? Like, is SCRUFF popular, or what?
He was challenged the most in all of TOBIR! He's got a 10-5-0, is that good?
Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other! Don't you guys ever give
it a break? Hey, warriors get killed by other warriors, not by their manager sending
them to the Dark Arena. What's wrong with SANDWICHES' 2-0-1, HIGH SCHOOL PROM? What
if they had a fight and nobody showed up? I'd be out of a job, that's what!!!
I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be
a famous Spyreporter? I gotta leave. TOBIR is like such a dump, and you guys smell
too much! I had a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Clown -- Oh, hey, this is GREAT. Thanks. A win in the arena, while adventuring, is
always a good sort of an omen. I appreciate it, and when I get back, I would be glad
to buy you a beer. -- Gerbent
P.S. If I survive.
Punch -- Actually, I don't care much for punch, either way. It tastes funny, if it's
something to drink, and my paws just aren't designed for punching. Although my teeth
punch rather well, eh? Now you've got holes for your lacing. No, no, I didn't mind.
Ask me any time. -- Scruff
Yes, well, the Cult Member started muttering about tentacles, and I can't STAND
tentacles, you know? So I buried him in the sand. Let him make tentacles THERE.
Ha. -- Tipar Kuroo
Tea -- (recoiling) You're a guy? How...odd. I never thought of tea as being a guy
thing. -- Echanosarah
I take it you've never had lapsang souchong? -- Ed.
Five fights. This is pathetic. -- the Doghouse, disappointed

The Council of Lords would like to propose a rule change in ADM and Primus. We
propose that Lord Protectors ranked "Grand Champions" and below (ADM) and "The Tower
Guard" and below (Primus) be allowed to fight in the Dark Arena. This would not
impact the top rankings or title match. Any managers who never got his fill or shot
at fighting Gateway monsters would have it as an option. We believe it might spark
some interest in the ADM/Primus realm for some managers. If interested, speak up in
the newsletters or on forums under the "rules changes" thread and let RSI know. This
could even be something to try for 12 months and then be re-evaluated. What say you,
managers of Ghea? -- The Icelord sends....

HDFA Mission Statement
"Show me the money!"
This is the battle cry of a newly formed collection of like-minded individuals:
The High Dolla' Free Agent$. We are not a tough guy alliance: No...we offer no
battle without reward. We search for victory and the prizes and accolades that
follow. We are motivated by winning and will freely use whatever means necessary to
obtain our currency. No stuffy rules, no mandates, no constitutions, no leaders,
only a few objectives:
1) Win as often as possible
2) Celebrate freely and revel in your victories; the more meaningless the
victory the more we celebrate. Highsiding and chest thumping are encouraged.
Ostentatious endzone celebrations with prop usage are encouraged, regardless of
fines, penalties, suspensions or arrest by local authorities. It is important to let
your opponent know how great you are; more importantly, you must let your own
alliance mates know how great you are.
This is a 1-up alliance, let the performance of your fellow Free Agent$ motivate
you. If a Free Agent wins a TV, win 2; if a Free agent wins a contest, win a more
prestigious one.
Current members of the HDFA include: CFH and Abraxis. Inquires can be directed
to: CFH/Rat Salad DM 47
